Netanyahu Lands In Washington

 Rumors have it that Netanyahu asked Trump if he could have more cars in the Motorcade than the Satmar and Skverer Rebbes motorcades! 

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife landed in Washington D.C. on Sunday evening and were greeted by Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter.

Shortly later, Netanyahu and his entourage rushed to the Blair House for a meeting with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

The meeting, which focused on the 17% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on Israel, was described by the Prime Minister’s Office as “warm, friendly, and productive.”

Update on the Chareidie Guy Who Murdered His Wife

  In a horrendous tragedy which occurred on Friday afternoon, a Charedi couple were found shot dead in their home on Moshe Sneh Street in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood of Jerusalem, in an apparent homicide-suicide. A gun belonging to the husband was found adjacent to the bodies.

The couple’s names have been cleared for publication: Or Chaim Hamdani Cohen (38) and his wife Esther (35), of blessed memory. Details regarding the funeral, which will take place today, will be announced separately. The couple are survived by their four children, one of whom heard the shots, found them dead and alerted police.

According to sources familiar with the family, they were a normative, well-regarded family belonging to the Sephardic community in the neighborhood. The husband regularly prayed at the local synagogue, and the wife worked in the Atarot industrial zone. She was also well known in the community for managing a central charity organization (Gemach) to support new mothers.

The couple’s children attend well-known educational institutions in the neighborhood. The tragedy has left the community in shock, including acquaintances from the boys’ Talmud Torah and the girls’ neighborhood school.

MDA paramedic Eden Marzayev and MDA emergency medical technician Omri David, who arrived at the scene, said:

“We were led into the apartment and saw a man and a woman unconscious, with no pulse and not breathing. We performed medical examinations and were forced to pronounce them dead at the scene.”

Shira, whose daughter studied with Esther, the murdered woman, said that “She was a righteous woman. She ran a clothing charity. Her daughter is in the same class as my daughter. She has a two-year-old baby, a child in kindergarten, and a daughter in third grade. From the outside, it seemed like her husband was disconnected from her—off in his own world, in his own head,”

Shira also participated in weekly Torah classes with the victim. “I would see her often at the Torah lessons. A classic charedi family. I ran a summer camp a year ago, and her daughter attended. The husband would bring them in the morning. Even in my darkest thoughts, I never imagined it could come to this.”

Despite what seemed like the outward appearance of a family dealing with ordinary challenges, Shira shares something that might shed light on the tragic incident.
“I understood that she opened a case at the Rabbinical Court a week ago—she wanted a divorce. In the neighborhood, we don’t know how to process this. What to think, how to feel.”

Shocking: Chareidie Kills his wife and then commits suicide in Neve Yaakov Yerushlayim on Shabbos HaGodol

 

A heartbreaking discovery in Neve Yaakov, Jerusalem — an Frum Chareidie couple was found dead in their home. Their son discovered the scene.

Below is translated from Hebrew Blog:

It happened today in Jerusalem, no one wanted to believe that such a thing could happen, especially when it comes in an environment of many yeshiva students, but when they arrived at the scene, they saw how a small child was standing next to his dead parents.

 It turns out that the father was angry with his wife - it is not clear at the moment what - he shot her, and shot himself, apparently telling himself that we will not both live, and leaving the child without a father and mother

How does such a thing happen in general and among the Chareidim in particular? 

This is not something that has not happened in the past, unfortunately we have heard of cases like this where a husband shot his wife and committed suicide, but the outcry here is twofold, how is it that someone who is considered 'Chareidie' would do such a thing? 

 How is it that the Chareidie education system brought out such a horrible act?. 

It is not enough to wear a white shirt and a yeshiva hat, Charedie  education must be so different, that even in moments like this we should know how to overcome and not go so far. There are red lines that existed in the past and we are learning that these no longer exist, something very serious and difficult is happening in Charedie  education, that an act of this kind happened,proves that something is sick in the education

They are trying to explain to me with a racist reason that this is someone who comes from a background of '... Knives' and who get angry and hit each other, it is in their nature.

 I don't buy that, yes it's true that we're on the eve of Pesach, and the pressure is especially great in homes where the cleaning and everything that happens around the holiday puts pressure on a husband, but to take a gun and shoot his wife and then to shoot himself?

 We have had too many suicides lately, this matter has become much more serious, and this time he not only killed himself but also his wife

They will argue, and ostensibly there is something to it, because we are dealing with a 'patient.' True, anyone who does such a thing must be mentally disturbed because a sane person would not do such a thing. Still, how is it possible that they did not know that the person was dangerous and did nothing to ensure that such a thing would not happen? 

This is a well-known neighborhood in the holy city of Jerusalem, a neighborhood populated by Bnei Torah yeshiva students, who will have to deal with how such a thing happened in their surroundings on Shabbat HaGadol

Kamala Harris was ‘completely shocked’ by election night loss to Trump after she ‘bought the hype’

 

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was floored by her loss to President Trump this past November, having “bought the hype” that her campaign was in good shape in the run-up to Election Day, according to the author of a new book on the 2024 presidential election. 

“She was completely shocked, and Tim Walz was shocked,” The Hill correspondent Amie Parnes, co-author of “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” told the podcast “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri” Thursday.

Walz was so “stunned” by Harris’ crushing defeat that he was unable to speak, according to Parnes. 

“He has no words,” the reporter told Palmeri, describing the Minnesota governor sitting in his hotel room silently on election night as staffers tried to explain the situation. 

“And people are kind of explaining to him, same thing with [Harris]. And she’s like, ‘Are you sure? Have we done a recount? Should we do a recount?’” Parnes continued. 

“They thought that they were going to win,” she added. “And so, you know, when they come back now and say, ‘Oh no, we didn’t really have a chance.’ No, that’s not what they were thinking. They thought they were going to win.”

Parnes reported that some members of Harris’ team felt they were being “gaslit” by senior campaign officials, who were confident that “things were looking good” for the Democratic nominee. 

Harris “bought the hype,” according to the journalist, and thought she was on a path to victory.

In Beit Shemesh the Division between Charedim and Dati Leumi Residents Growing as Chareidim Divert 85% of Funds Towards their Own Interests!

 

Mayor Greenberg the Puppet of the Charedim , Chareidim themselves almost killed him two weeks ago at a wedding that he attended; he had to be shlepped out by police who even put a helmet on him! 
This Mayor got elected because Rav Landau of Bnei-Brak called the Mayoral elections in Beit Shemesh against another Frum person a מלחמת מצוה! R Landau ordered Bochrim who live in BS but learn in Yeshivos all over Israel to close their Gemarras for the day and had askanim pay for buses and bused them in! 

Beit Shemesh, one of Israel’s fastest-growing cities, is undergoing unprecedented transformation—but not without significant challenges. The Ramat Daled neighborhood, already home to approximately 70,000 residents, is projected to grow to 100,000 in the near future, making it comparable in size to entire cities like Beitar Illit. Despite the population boom, city planning has struggled to keep pace. Makeshift structures, including trailers and temporary buildings, dominate the urban landscape. Public spaces such as sports fields are being repurposed for educational and religious use, often without clear regulation or sufficient infrastructure.

At the heart of the issue lies the city’s outdated master plan from 1996, designed for a small town, not a sprawling urban center. With Beit Shemesh expected to become Israel’s second-largest city within 15 years—surpassing Tel Aviv in size—its planning failures have become impossible to ignore. Critical services like schools, parks, and shelters remain underdeveloped or absent, leaving both new and existing residents underserved.

The city is also experiencing a complex demographic shift. Tami Sussman, Beit Shemesh city councilor, says that currently, 85% of Beit Shemesh’s educational institutions serve the haredi community, a figure that reflects not only population growth but also deliberate political maneuvering. Recent housing tenders have been redirected from the general public to the haredi sector, intensifying tensions among various communities. Mayor Shmuel Greenberg, elected with haredi political backing, has faced both physical attacks and political backlash, revealing deep internal divisions even within the ultra-Orthodox population. Many haredi residents themselves voice concerns about extremism and the lack of balanced urban planning.

Former mayor Aliza Bloch, who had championed coexistence and diversity during her tenure, now watches with concern as the city’s socioeconomic status declines. Beit Shemesh currently leads all Israeli municipalities in economic deterioration, with per capita income and public services falling behind. The city is increasingly seen as a microcosm of larger national issues: religious-secular divides, political patronage, and the struggle to maintain a shared civic identity amid demographic upheaval.

Residents like Michael Levit, who moved to Beit Shemesh hoping for a pluralistic community, now express disillusionment. Promised mixed neighborhoods have become predominantly haredi through strategic land allocation, and flyers discouraging rentals to non-haredim have appeared. Despite assurances from the mayor that Beit Shemesh will remain diverse and inclusive, skepticism remains widespread.

The future of Beit Shemesh—and perhaps the broader vision of shared society in Israel—depends on whether leaders can balance community needs with infrastructure development, ensure equitable governance, and resist the pull of divisive politics. As one resident poignantly asked: “Where will our children live?” For many, that question now carries deep uncertainty, while mayor Shmuel Greenberg promises to “maintain the diversity in the city.”

UN extends mandate of the Wicked Witch the anti-Israel rapporteur Francesca Albanese

The United Nations Human Rights Council has extended Francesca Albanese’s term as special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the “Palestinian territories” for an additional three years, despite her continued anti-Israel statements and actions.

Appointed in 2022, Albanese retained her position following procedural approval by the 47-member council. Attempts to halt the renewal—led by Israel and supported by Hungary and Argentina—were ultimately unsuccessful, according to Ynet.

Albanese has become a polarizing figure within diplomatic and human rights circles. Israeli authorities and advocacy organizations have repeatedly accused her of promoting an anti-Israel agenda.

Albanese’s anti-Israel bias was first exposed in 2022, in the form of antisemitic posts she made on social media, in which she claimed that the “Jewish lobby” controls the US.

At the time, Albanese rejected arguments that the comments about the “Jewish lobby” were antisemitic and claimed they were “mischaracterized”, but her anti-Israel bias has continued to be exposed since.

Her criticism of Israel has grown since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack in Israel. The attack, in which Hamas terrorists killed over 1,200 people and took 250 hostages, was described by Albanese as an act that must be viewed in “context” and as a response to Israeli “aggression.”

She has also in recent months accused Israel of genocide, likened the Government of Israel to the “Third Reich,” and compared Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.

 

UK Foreign Secretary Cries Because Israel deported two Labour MPs who called for a boycott of Israel.

 

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Saturday issued a sharp rebuke to Israeli authorities following the denial of entry and deportation of two Labour Party members of Parliament, The Guardian reported.

The two MPs, Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, were barred from entering Israel on Saturday afternoon after suspicions arose regarding their intentions.

Upon questioning, the two claimed to be part of an official delegation from the British Parliament. This was later found to be untrue, after no official Israeli source was familiar with the arrival of such a delegation.

It also became clear that the purpose of the MPs' arrival was to document Israeli security forces and spread libel against Israel. In light of this, and in accordance with Israeli law, Interior Minister Moshe Arbel (Shas) refused the entry of both MPs and their aides, and ordered them to be distanced from Israel.

Reacting to the incident, Lammy released a statement on Saturday night, saying, “It is unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning that two British MPs on a parliamentary delegation to Israel have been detained and refused entry by the Israeli authorities.”

“I have made clear to my counterparts in the Israeli government that this is no way to treat British parliamentarians, and we have been in contact with both MPs tonight to offer our support,” he added.

Lammy emphasized the UK’s ongoing diplomatic focus on securing a renewed ceasefire and advancing efforts to end the conflict in Gaza.

“The UK government’s focus remains securing a return to the ceasefire and negotiations to stop the bloodshed, free the hostages and end the conflict in Gaza,” he stated.

Outrage After Shin Bet Officer Boasted in Secret Recording that Settlers Are Arrested Without Evidence

 

A furor arose in Israel after Kan News revealed a recording of a Shin Bet senior official saying that Jewish residents of Yehudah and Shomron are arrested “even without evidence” for several days.

In a recording, the Shin Bet officer, the head of the Jewish Department, is heard speaking with Cdr. Avishai Mualem, the Yamam commander, about several Jews who were arrested in Yehudah and Shomron.

“Put them in cells, with the mice,” says the officer, who is identified only as A.

A. adds: “We always want to detain them for interrogation as much as possible. You’ll see how they deal with Shin Bet investigations. We arrest these shmucks even without evidence for a few days.”

Mualem warns: “They’ll tear us apart for this.”

A.: “It’s under the aegis of the Shin Bet chief and Defense Minister.”

The conversation continued, during which A. referred to IDF forces as “death squads.”

Following the report, the Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement saying: “The shocking recording of the head of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet is a real danger to democracy. In light of this serious recording, the Prime Minister will demand a thorough examination of the activities of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet.”

“It is unacceptable that in a state governed by law, citizens of the country are arrested without evidence and placed in detention under illegal and cruel conditions. Only in dark regimes does the secret service operate in this dangerous way. There will be no dark shadow government within the state of Israel.”

Shas chairman Aryeh Deri responded: “The report published tonight about the head of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet against settlers in Yehudah and Shomron are very serious and should concern every citizen for whom individual rights are important. It is unacceptable that in a state governed by law, citizens are placed in detention without evidence and without a legal basis. A thorough internal investigation is required in this department.”

Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich responded: “For years we have been crying out against the use of the Shin Bet’s draconian powers against the settlers in an undemocratic, unequal, and illegal manner. The recordings published tonight prove unequivocally the criminality of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet and the hypocrisy of the Israeli judicial system that covers up its lies and approves its actions over the years.”

“The settlers of Yehudah and Shomron are not second-class citizens. The head of the Jewish Department must be fired tonight, taken for questioning, and brought to justice – just like Ronen Bar, who has caused and continues to cause immense damage to the organization, completely eroding public trust in it. The Shin Bet is a critical body for the security of Israel, but it needs a thorough cleansing and urgent rehabilitation.”

Sen Hawley Destroys the Yenta from Code Pink that is funded by Communists

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) unleashed a fiery rebuke against Pro-Pally Code Pink activists protesting his support for Israel, calling their actions a “moral travesty” and accusing them of being “awash in blood and dirty money.”

The confrontation escalated when Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin approached Hawley, prompting the senator to fire back: “You’re just a Jew hater, right? You’re along for the ride?”

Hawley didn’t hold back, labeling the group “rabidly anti-Israel” and “morally despicable” as activists followed and berated him in a tense scene.
